Ahidus (also ahidousorhaidous) is a style of collective performance in Morocco. It is the traditional dance in many Moroccan Berber tribes in the Middle and Eastern High Atlas regions. [1]
In the traditional Ahidus performance, singers and dancers with the men and women standing alternately shoulder to shoulder form a large circle or in two facing lines. [2] The man who accompany and direct the dancers stands in the center. The performance includes other key people such as singer-poet (orammessadinBerber), assisting singers and drummers. [1]
